I always felt that

living in the city for a long time is a drain,

To awaken, one must return to the place where you came.

It was supposed to be Xiuzhu Sen, and the stream looked around the valley ...

2012, I was in Hangzhou Yuhang Luo Bird town,

I ran into a dirt house, so I couldn't hold back,

and turned it into a dwelling place in the mountains.

As if, like me, I was inspired by some kind of inspiration,

Slowly, the people in the city came over. Like me, there was some kind of inspiration,

They lived in beautiful bamboo groves on the hillside, sleeping in earthen houses,

Eating in a restaurant created by a chicken ring change ...

Watch the birds play when you are free, or in the Bamboo grove,

Make your own mountain dinner,

When the heart returns to the valley,It seems that the power can be drawn here.

The earthen house in this bamboo grove on the hillside was originally rented by me from the local villagers, because long uninhabited, bamboo forest has long included it in its own embrace, only from the low to see one or two of the house.

The owner of the earthen house may not have thought that in those days only 4000 pieces of budget covered with a humble house, and now it will wait for a large lot of people to come unexpectedly.

The days in the mountains, though humble, are enough to bring the mood back to the ethereal。

Bodhi Valley Phase I

I am the Lao Song, perhaps because of the Carpenter was born to me, for the old house, Old Wood has a special feeling.

So when I met this shabby old house, I gave birth from the bottom of my heart the urge to fix it.

The old house is left by a family on the mountain, when building houses, the owner of Lao Yang's budget is only 4000 yuan, not only to ask the master but also to buy a variety of building materials.

So in the house on the material has to be simple, in addition to the door frame of the Earth brick, the rest is a clean earth wall.

But although the house is humble, but with its back to this bamboo grove, the old Yang family of four lives here, usually by digging bamboo shoots, making products to live,Although the days are poor, they are happy enough.。

Only later, the years in the mountains after all the enemy but the time. Lao Yang's children grew up, and the days of bamboo as a livelihood became increasingly difficult to sustain.

Lao Yang had to leave the bamboo forest filled with happy memories of the earthen house, in the mountains to seek another life.

This earthen house on the hillside is so lonely and deserted.。

Just in the dark there is a kind of inexplicable fate, one day I drive a motorcycle in the mountains blind, roundabout back a few sections of the mountain road, in a lush bamboo forest in the shade to see the house.

Stepping on the path covered with foliage and weeds, the soles of my feet would make a rustling sound from time to time, pulling open the bamboo leaves that fell to my eyes, and my other world opened.

At that moment I knew that I was yearning not for the childhood bridge water people, but this moment in the mountains.

I left.

Because the Carpenter was born, I always had a stubborn emotion about the dilapidated old house and the doors and windows.

I always felt that they were older than us, just like the old people at home, and they had a lot of memories in their own right, and I wanted to keep them all and turn them into my tranquil home.

The converted earthen house

Even if the age change,

The loess wall of the old house is still there.

There were times when I had to admire the wisdom of my ancestors,

Such walls are not going to regurgitation,

Instead, modern plates can easily seep out of the water.

And the old grinder, the antique clock ...

Let you naturally be taken to the old days.

We brought the mountain into the room,

At first, because the size of the old house was limited,

So made a part of the expansion.

Just after meeting the mountains,on the trend.，

Put it in the room, too.

Come with it, it's not a fight, it's not urgent.。

After the completion of the old house renovation is a total of four rooms, the original old Yang used to raise chickens in an open space has also been turned into a bamboo, hemp rope decoration of the restaurant.

The house is not big, but the years in the mountains are tranquil, one night in the mountains, the sound of streams, the wind blowing through the leaves of the voice of a layer, like waves pounding the beach.

There is only bamboo in the wild above this mountain area.

Just in the mountain depression Room, the ancestors Hansi Ginkgo tree, fir tree, Taxus, respectively, is more than 100 years old, more than 200 years old, more than 300 years old ... This is tingting.

In the open space of the valley, the villagers will cultivate fruits and vegetables here, several times the neighbors will take the initiative to send their own vegetables, fruit, I will not accept and turn the face.

The days in the mountains are leisurely,

The mountain behind the house is an inexhaustible bamboo shoots.

Once a man returns to nature,

This is how the relationship between man and food becomes pure.

I even found the wild tea garden in the nearby mountain depression,

The newly picked tea, coupled with the mountain Qingquan,

Every day in the mountains, too, seems to have expectations.

That is, in the mountains day by day, I have enough time to visit the mountains in a place everywhere.

In this way, the mountain spent a year, once in the Luo Bird town to run into a man selling mountain springs, said there is a particularly pure water on the hillside.

It doesn't matter to go up the hill, the key is that the old house on the Hill has once again left me behind.

That kind of quiet and independent beauty, said is the mountain living Immortals I will probably believe.

In the first year of preparation, I often worry that this place and location completely do not match the side, there is no industry around.

Although Hangzhou is a good close to the border, but there is a section of more than 600 meters of elevation, want to enter here also have to turn more than 70 bends, seems to be lonely some.

So, during that time I was not in a hurry to transform it out, just taking advantage of every night in the dead of time, alone repeatedly walking this corner up the hill.

I want to find out whether the Reiki of this land is warm or cold.

Gradually I found that even if midnight a person feel this road will not panic, even when it snows, as long as you turn over the hillside on this side, the temperature and sunshine will be much more comfortable.

Wait until the heart has the bottom, I just start to do! It's just this grind, it's another 2 years of time.

Bodhi Valley Phase Two

Compared to the first house,

The rooms here are wide enough,

The rooms facing the bamboo grove have transparent glass in each room,

As long as you reach out your hand, you can touch the green.

Bao Ju

Some of the rooms are duplex attics,

On the first floor is the living room with its own bathtub,

And the bedroom reproach was hidden in the attic on the second floor.

The room was also faced with bamboo groves,

Said it was turning a wall into green,

Not to be seen in any way.

Sedentary residence

These houses are actually built on the legendary foundations of the great Foothills Temple.

Great Foothills Temple, China's first batch of Buddhist temple formed. From the Western Jin Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the mountain incense did not disperse, during the devastation, stone pillars and other permanent Buddhist temple remains buried in the ground, waiting for a revival.

It is because of this, I gave each house a Rohan name, cloth Bag (Rohan) Residence, digging Ear (Rohan) residence, Happy (Rohan) Residence ...

When the 18 names were used up, 18 houses in the great Foothills Temple shop were also built.This "18 Rohan" will guard the village, the mountain, and the serenity of the heart.。

Not one, two, careful start, in fact, at the beginning of the signing, I will be the whole village can sign in all signed, did not sign in and first put people in the plan.

Two years later, the whole village above the foundation of the great Foothills Temple will all enter the map.

Hydropower is all considered in the whole disk, the infrastructure is carried out according to the whole village, so the local government has also specially built the uphill road. Under the mountain to cultivate 15 acres of fields, apply spring water, organic fertilizer, do the mountain of the exclusive garden ...

The city has been staying for a long time,

Maybe only in this place where the dust is out,

You will feel the change of the Four seasons.

Every season, the food that grows on the land.

都让你倍感珍惜。

Man is the source of nature,

Maybe it's only when you return to the valley to let go of fickleness,

Looking at the vast world,

And get some kind of epiphany in a moment,

So, I think that's what I'm naming here.

-The reason for the "Bodhi Valley".

So this time I want to find more, in the form of crowdfunding, like I want to return to the Deep valley together in a place where dust is out of the way, drinking tea and listening to the rain and living in peace.

I think Bodhi Valley is more than just a place to stay, it should be a place where a lot of people are briefly secluded, and then, the power to get back on the road.
